About Borana Lodge

Borana Conservancy lies at the foot of Mt Kenya, a few miles North of the equator at 6,500 feet (almost 2,000 meters) above sea level.

The Conservancy has a unique geographical situation which makes it a haven for a huge diversity of wildlife including black and white rhino, elephant, lion, leopard, Jackson’s hartebeest, buffalo and great herds of antelope in the plains; while the cooler forest and rivers shelter bush buck, otters and leopard.

Borana Lodge is a the heart of Borana Conservancy, with a fantastic view of Mount Kenya. The lodge is perched on a hillside above a damn, where herds of elephant regularly gather to bathe at lunch time.

The combination of privacy, natural beauty and an abundance of wildlife creates a unique setting for a truly memorable safari experience.

With two strings of experienced safari horses, game walks, mountain bikes, an abundance of birds, cross-cultural experiences and plenty of excuses for meals and nights in the bush there is never a dull moment at Borana Lodge. Topped off with an in house Safari Spa, there is something for everybody.

This truly is travelling with a purpose.
